Abstract :
MacSigma0 is an interactive tool for the Macintosh personnal computer which allows the user to display and make computations from radar data collected by the following sensors: JPL AIRSAR, ERS-1, JERS-1, and Magellan. MacSigma0 provides four basic functions: synthesis of images, statistical analysis of selected areas, analysis of corner reflectors as a calibration measure, and informative mouse tracking. Images, statistics, and calibration measures can be printed or saved in standard formats compatible with other applications for further analysis or for generation of presentation materials
